CHOI Eunsoo
World Premiere
Eunjeong, a first-year high school student who loves soccer, is best friends with Sohye. One day, Sohye tells Eunjeong that she has a boyfriend. When Eunjeong hears about an interclass soccer tournament, she wants to participate, only to discover that the tournament is open to boys only. Hoping to change the rules, she asks Eunho, the class president and Sohye's boyfriend, for help. But his response is oddly cold.
This story begins with the "discrimination" that takes place so naturally within the school, that most ordinary of spaces. I want to look closely at the rules that come to be taken for granted when no one questions them, and at the discrimination and prejudice that are read as consent when no one says they object. Before we knew it, our rights had become actions possible only by summoning courage. But I wanted to say that such courage begins not from some grand occasion, but can also be sparked by someone beside us who understands us and cares for us.
